Flip Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'm talking about individual mistakes. Not general mistakes as most goals occur then. Every goal conceded has been due to an individual mistake either in a mistake itself or positioning like a 12 year old. I agree with you, but we controlled the game yesterday in our own way, we didn't invite pressure on us, what we did was to force Chile to play long balls. I thought the marking was excellent and without an individual error we would've won 2-0 by countering in a goal at the end when they'd have to force a bit. Our zonal marking forced them to send longballs that were dealt with easily. We've showed that we play differently depending on what team we play, I hope the pressure loosens up a bit now so the players can perform a bit better, felt like they had tons of bricks on their shoulders yesterday and were feeling the pressure. Against a Germany or Argentina side there's no way we'll let them control the game, I expect us in games like that to play like we did against Spain in the Confed by putting pressure from the off, something that is impossible to do against teams like Chile. Right now I have a hard time seeing us beat Colombia easily and am expecting another difficult game, but if we turn up and play the football we have been under Scolari outside of this last month than I'm confident we can beat them with ease as their midfield and defense is extremely vulnerable to players like Neymar and Hulk. I just hope Fred can keep Zapata or Yepes occupied because until now we've essentially played with 10 men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 What happened, I mus have missed that last night? A low cross came in to the area, and he stepped back with his elbow towards Forlan who fell. Didn't actually get him, but they started arguing and Forlan chested him and all. Yepes was quite lucky because he stepped back instead of going for the ball and if he hits Forlan and the ref sees it it's a penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chile really didn't have many opportunities that is true, worrying for you was the fact Sanchez won quite a few aerial battles. You can still win the whole thing, but you are not even close of reaching your potential. Good thing is Scolari seems to drop Paulinho, who has been awful. Fernandinho should start, and is Gustavo suspended from the QF? I seem to remember him getting a yellow yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play Paulinho a bit more free infront of David Luiz and Fernandinho with Dante in the CB with Thiago. Think Paulinho has been lost because he's had to cover so much. I mean Fernandinho who has excellent fitness went out after an hour for cramps all over. Doubt we'll see that but I think we need an extra midfielder. Rely on Neymar and Hulk offensively and hope Fred scores like he usually does when it most matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
